Another of the Beast


Here is another pic of the bright orange beast. As far as I know I am the third owner. The original was a Ford Dealership owner out in Nebraska who painted over her Springtime Yellow. He rarely took his prize-fighter for a spin and mostly showed it in parades.

When I met the next owners, they told me about how they tried to buy the car over several years but could never persuade the dude to sell to them. Then a few years after that man died they spotted the car sitting in a warehouse all dusty and covered up. They finally were able to buy the car and gave it to their son who used it as a daily driver in a small town in Nebraska.

All throughout his high school years he was the envy of all his classmates. Fast forward a few more years and the kid, who now is an adult, sets his eyes upon a sweet house to buy in Boston. He needs a down payment, looks at all his possessions, and opts to sell his sweet 'stang.

Thank heavens he sold because now I have an awesome ride that growls like a beast from within and screams away at every stoplight.
